WPS support in ad-hoc mode

[이영신]

RE: WPS support in ad-hoc modeThanks for your reply.

However, I think the following sentence in the WPS specification(1.0h) mentions the support IBSS mode.(Marked as bold type). How about your opinions ?

Thanks.


3.2 Legacy AP
...
"In the legacy AP case, a wireless Registrar receives Discovery frames from an Enrollee through Probe
Requests and may respond back to the Enrollee through an ad-hoc Probe Response. If both the Enrollee
and the Registrar support ad hoc connections, they may proceed directly to the rest of the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup protocol exchange over 802.1X using a point-to-point ad-hoc connection."   

4.1 In-band Setup Using a Standalone AP/Registrar
"This scenario applies both for adding Enrollees with APs with built-in Registrar capabilities as well as
wireless external Registrars that support direct Registration of Enrollees using an ad hoc 802.11
connection. The latter approach is especially useful for WLANs with legacy APs."

  WPS for IBSS isn't standardized yet, but there might be some vendor specific implementations out there.

  Hi. all.

  Is there any device to support WPS registration in ad-hoc mode ? In the WPS specification, this usage is already mentioned. However, all devices I've found until now are only supporting WPS registration in infrastructure mode.

  Thanks.
